act_v they_o and_o not_o a_o zeal_n of_o god_n if_o such_o man_n can_v be_v know_v instead_o of_o be_v kind_o and_o charitable_o think_v of_o for_o their_o zeal_n in_o religion_n the_o virtuous_a part_n of_o mankind_n will_v look_v upon_o they_o as_o the_o worst_a of_o hypocrite_n but_o since_o god_n only_o know_v the_o heart_n of_o man_n all_o such_o pretender_n to_o zeal_n for_o religion_n must_v till_o we_o know_v they_o also_o be_v treat_v according_a to_o the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n they_o pretend_v to_o be_v zealous_a for_o but_o than_o four_o and_o last_o all_o that_o i_o have_v now_o say_v be_v with_o respect_n to_o those_o that_o be_v out_o of_o the_o limit_n of_o my_o text_n such_o as_o have_v no_o zeal_n of_o god_n though_o some_o of_o they_o may_v pretend_v it_o but_o then_o as_o for_o those_o that_o real_o act_v out_o of_o principle_n of_o conscience_n and_o have_v a_o real_a zeal_n of_o god_n though_o in_o a_o wrong_a way_n these_o be_v true_a object_n of_o our_o tenderness_n and_o compassion_n though_o yet_o in_o different_a degree_n for_o according_a as_o their_o principle_n and_o practice_n do_v more_o or_o less_o injure_v our_o common_a christianity_n or_o be_v more_o or_o less_o dangerous_a to_o our_o government_n and_o constitution_n in_o the_o same_o proportion_n the_o great_a or_o less_o tenderness_n and_o indulgence_n be_v to_o be_v express_v towards_o they_o but_o most_o of_o what_o concern_v this_o matter_n be_v already_o settle_v by_o law_n i_o will_v not_o be_v so_o bold_a as_o to_o meddle_v in_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o three_o head_n of_o my_o discourse_n iii_o the_o three_o thing_n i_o tell_v you_o we_o may_v observe_v from_o this_o text_n be_v this_o the_o apostle_n tacit_n reprehension_n of_o the_o jewish_a zeal_n upon_o this_o account_n that_o it_o be_v not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n the_o use_v i_o make_v of_o this_o be_v that_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v be_v able_a to_o gather_v to_o ourselves_o a_o true_a rule_n for_o the_o govern_v our_o zeal_n in_o matter_n of_o religion_n and_o likewise_o for_o the_o judge_n in_o other_o what_o zeal_n be_v commendable_a and_o what_o be_v not_o for_o be_v our_o zeal_n of_o god_n never_o so_o great_a yet_o if_o it_o be_v not_o a_o zeal_n according_a to_o knowledge_n it_o be_v not_o the_o right_a christian_n zeal_n and_o though_o we_o see_v other_o never_o so_o fervent_a and_o vehement_a in_o pursue_v a_o religious_a cause_n and_o that_o too_o out_o of_o conscience_n yet_o if_o this_o zeal_n of_o they_o be_v not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n it_o be_v a_o zeal_n that_o just_o deserve_v to_o be_v reprove_v and_o though_o both_o we_o and_o they_o may_v for_o our_o sincerity_n in_o god_n cause_n expect_v some_o allowance_n both_o from_o god_n and_o man_n yet_o neither_o they_o nor_o we_o can_v justify_v it_o either_o to_o god_n or_o man_n that_o we_o be_v thus_o foolish_o and_o ignorant_o zealous_a i_o wish_v this_o mark_n of_o right_a zeal_n that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v according_a to_o knowledge_n be_v more_o consider_v for_o it_o seem_v not_o often_o to_o be_v think_v on_o by_o those_o that_o be_v most_o zealous_a in_o their_o way_n of_o what_o persuasion_n soever_o they_o be_v this_o same_o business_n of_o knowledge_n be_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o common_o forget_v to_o be_v take_v in_o as_o a_o ingredient_n or_o companion_n of_o zeal_n in_o most_o sort_n of_o professor_n for_o as_o the_o world_n go_v those_o man_n be_v general_o find_v to_o be_v the_o great_a zealot_n who_o be_v most_o notorious_o ignorant_a whereas_o true_a zeal_n shall_v not_o only_o proceed_v from_o true_a knowledge_n but_o shall_v also_o be_v always_o accompany_v with_o it_o and_o govern_v by_o it_o but_o what_o be_v it_o to_o have_v a_o zeal_n according_a to_o knowledge_n what_o do_v this_o character_n of_o justifiable_a right_a zeal_n contain_v in_o it_o i_o answer_v it_o must_v at_o least_o contain_v in_o it_o these_o five_o follow_a thing_n first_o to_o have_v a_o zeal_n according_a to_o knowledge_n do_v import_v that_o we_o be_v not_o mistake_v as_o to_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o zeal_n that_o it_o be_v a_o good_a cause_n that_o we_o be_v zealous_a about_o and_o since_o it_o be_v zeal_n for_o god_n that_o we_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o it_o must_v be_v something_o wherein_o our_o duty_n be_v concern_v that_o must_v be_v the_o object_n of_o our_o zeal_n so_o that_o a_o right_a zeal_n of_o god_n imply_v that_o we_o do_v so_o well_o inform_v ourselves_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o our_o religion_n as_o not_o to_o pretend_v a_o religious_a zeal_n for_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o a_o part_n of_o our_o religion_n if_o our_o zeal_n for_o god_n be_v as_o it_o shall_v be_v it_o must_v certain_o express_v itself_o in_o matter_n that_o be_v good_a about_o such_o object_n as_o god_n have_v make_v to_o be_v our_o duty_n it_o be_v good_a say_v st._n paul_n to_o be_v always_o zealous_o affect_v in_o a_o good_a matter_n but_o if_o we_o mistake_v in_o our_o cause_n if_o we_o take_v that_o for_o good_a which_o be_v evil_a or_o that_o for_o evil_a which_o be_v good_a here_o our_o zeal_n be_v not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n second_o as_o the_o object_n of_o our_o zeal_n must_v be_v according_a to_o knowledge_n so_o also_o the_o principle_n from_o whence_o our_o zeal_n proceed_v must_v be_v according_a to_o knowledge_n also_o that_o be_v to_o say_v we_o must_v have_v solid_a and_o rational_a ground_n to_o proceed_v upon_o in_o our_o concernment_n for_o any_o thing_n such_o as_o will_v not_o only_o satisfy_v ourselves_o but_o all_o other_o that_o be_v unbiased_a in_o a_o word_n such_o as_o we_o can_v justify_v to_o all_o the_o world_n if_o it_o be_v every_o man_n duty_n as_o st._n peter_n tell_v we_o it_o be_v to_o be_v ready_a to_o give_v a_o answer_n to_o every_o one_o that_o ask_v he_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o he_o then_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v much_o more_o every_o man_n duty_n to_o be_v able_a to_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o the_o zeal_n that_o be_v in_o he_o because_o this_o business_n of_o a_o man_n zeal_n do_v more_o affect_v the_o public_a and_o be_v of_o great_a concernment_n to_o it_o than_o what_o a_o man_n private_a faith_n or_o hope_n be_v but_o yet_o how_o little_a be_v this_o consider_v by_o many_o zealous_a man_n among_o we_o some_o be_v zealous_a for_o a_o point_n to_o serve_v a_o interest_n or_o a_o faction_n but_o this_o be_v not_o to_o be_v own_v as_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o their_o zeal_n for_o indeed_o if_o it_o shall_v it_o will_v not_o be_v allow_v of_o other_o be_v zealous_a for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o they_o find_v their_o teacher_n or_o those_o they_o most_o converse_v with_o be_v so_o they_o follow_v the_o common_a cry_n and_o examine_v no_o more_o of_o the_o matter_n other_o indeed_o have_v a_o principle_n of_o zeal_n beyond_o all_o this_o for_o they_o be_v move_v from_o within_o to_o stand_v up_o for_o this_o or_o the_o other_o cause_n they_o have_v impulse_n upon_o their_o mind_n which_o they_o can_v resist_v but_o that_o in_o truth_n be_v no_o more_o a_o justifiable_a ground_n of_o any_o man_n zeal_n than_o either_o of_o the_o former_a for_o if_o these_o motion_n and_o impulse_n that_o they_o speak_v of_o be_v from_o god_n there_o will_v certain_o be_v convey_v along_o with_o they_o such_o reason_n and_o argument_n for_o the_o thing_n that_o they_o be_v to_o be_v zealous_a about_o as_o will_v if_o they_o be_v declare_v satisfy_v and_o convince_v all_o other_o reasonable_a man_n as_o well_o as_o themselves_o for_o it_o be_v a_o ridiculous_a thing_n to_o imagine_v that_o god_n at_o this_o day_n do_v move_v or_o impel_v man_n in_o any_o other_o way_n than_o what_o be_v agreeable_a to_o the_o reason_n of_o mankind_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o his_o holy_a word_n and_o if_o the_o man_n zeal_n can_v be_v justify_v by_o either_o of_o these_o there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o vouch_v inspiration_n for_o it_o three_o as_o the_o zeal_n which_o be_v according_a to_o knowledge_n have_v a_o good_a matter_n for_o its_o
